I've said several times that nobody would claim the workers don't have a genuine greivance. But potentially disrupting the lives of people who have no say in the matter is inexcusable and will build up resentment against them. Sure they're looking after their own interests but who's looking after mine?
Any number of the earlier linked to alternatives will provide the services - at a cost.

As to who is looking after your interests as a start up business that'll be Lord Mandelson in his capacity as Secretary of State for Business - who incidentally is the largest single shareholder in Royal Mail - which is owned by his employer HM Government.

This, rather succinctly, shows just how much the Government cares for businesses and individuals.

Oh what tangled a web they weave.
